Hello, All: <br>
<br>
<br>
FRIDAY, 9 AM, 17 AUGUST: REQUEST RESTRAINING ORDER AGAINST BANK OF
AMERICA ATTORNEY, SANTA CLARA COUNTY SUPERIOR COURT, DEPT. 18, 161
NORTH FIRST STREET, SAN JOSÉ, CA <br>
<br>
<br>
An important hearing is scheduled for 9 AM this Friday, 17
August in Santa Clara County Superior Court, Dept. 18, 161 North
First Street in San Jose: David (Merritt) is requesting a
restraining order against Goliath (Attorney James Goldberg
representing Bank of America, et al.) in response to alleged
unprofessional and illegal physical and verbal assault on David and
Salma Merritt and witnesses during a court-ordered deposition of
Salma Merritt. <br>
<br>
<br>
We all want to believe that our courts are fair and
impartial. Unfortunately, most major incumbent politicians these
days have been elected with massive "contributions" from big money,
who on average receive massive returns on those investments
estimated at between $6 and $220 for each $1 invested in lobbying
and political campaigns.[1] Judicial appointments are often made
based on the preferences of major campaign contributors.[2] <br>
<br>
<br>
Your presence in the courtroom at that time might help the
judge to interpret any ambiguity in the law in favor of David. <br>
<br>
<br>
SATURDAY, 1 - 4 PM, 15 SEPTEMBER: FORECLOSURE SUMMIT, NEW COMMUNITY
OF FAITH, 6350 RAINBOW DRIVE, SAN JOSÉ, CA<br>
<br>
<br>
A Foreclosure Summit is scheduled for Saturday, 15 Sept., 1-4
PM, at the New Community of Faith church, 6350 Rainbow Drive, San
Jose, CA, co-sponsored by Occupy San José, the Green Party of Santa
Clara County, and others. The program will consist of presentations
by leaders in the fight against illegal foreclosures, followed by
small group discussions of the issues and ending with an open
discussion of the possible next steps. For more information, see
"Foreclosure Summit", occupy.pbworks.com (<a

In Santa Clara County alone, an estimated 24 families have
lost their homes every day since Oct. 2007. This crisis is
forecasted to continue through 2015. I believe that concerned
citizens can reverse this trend and roll back the changes in law
over the past 35 years, especially the repeal of Glass-Steagall in
1999, that have given the finance industry a third of US domestic
corporate profits since 2000 and restore sanity and stability to
international finance. However, we cannot do it alone. <br>
<br>
<br>
Best Wishes, <br>
Spencer <br>
